Brimbug Achievements 2014

2014 was a very good year for improvements to cycling infrastructure in Brimbank. Much of the work was built as part of the Regional Rail Link (RRL) and Brimbank council has continued to build both recreational trails and on-road cycling lanes.

Below are just some of the achievements that Brimbug was involved in – with the relevant stakeholders, RRL, Brimbank council.

Description: This route takes riders along the newly completed Sunshine Trail through Footscray to Docklands and onto Port Melbourne to a new section of recreational trail to the mouth of the Yarra River, with views of the City and Williamstown.

Description: This route takes riders along the Kororoit Creek through Brimbank and onto North Altona for the National Tree Planting Event, to help with planting out trees and shrubs.

Announcement will be made by the Hon. Jill Hennessy MP for Victoria about plans for the Kororoit Creek Trail.
